Introduction to Construction of a Square
The first step in constructing a square is to identify the location of the square’s center. This can be done by drawing two lines intersecting in the center of the square. Once the center is located, the square can be drawn by connecting the four corners.
Construction of a Square with a Given Side of 5 cm
To construct a square with a given side of 5 cm, draw a line segment of length 5 cm and then use a compass to draw four more equal line segments connecting the endpoint of the first line segment to the four corners of the square.
Construction of a Square Inscribed in a Circle
A square is inscribed in a circle with the center of the circle as the center of the square. A radius is drawn from the center of the circle to each corner of the square. The length of each side of the square is the same as the radius.
